E3 2020 Replacement Event Schedule: PS5, Ubisoft, And All The Confirmed Events So Far

Like many other live events scheduled to take place this year, E3 2020 has been canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This marks the first time in the expo's 20-plus-year history that a physical event will not take place in June, but there will still be plenty of gaming news and announcements to look forward to over the next few months. In fact, with companies spreading their announcements out over a longer stretch of time, you won't have to race to catch everything in a week's time and can

A year ago, Spider-Man: Far From Home hit theaters with a special post-credits scene surprise--the return of J.K. Simmons' iconic take on comics' most notorious news mogul, J. Jonah Jameson. This also marked the first time an actor has made the jump from a non-MCU Marvel film into the MCU while playing the same character.

Latest Total War Series Entry Will Launch For Free, But Only On Epic Games Store

While it's not a core release in the series, developer Creative Assembly is trying some new ideas with A Total War Saga: Troy. And that includes how the game will be sold, which involves giving it away for free on release date. The upcoming PC real-time strategy game is launching on August 13, and will be sold exclusively on the Epic Games Store for a year before coming to other digital storefronts. What makes this deal more curious though is the offer at launch. For 24 hours after its release,

Sony postpones PlayStation 5 event, in order for ‘more important voices to be heard’

Sony’s planned June 4 PS5 event has been postponed indefinitely, as the U.S. grapples with widespread protests over the death of George Floyd. It’s understandably a difficult time to focus on video game launches, amid national and global unrest.  The company noted via Twitter, “While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is a time to celebrate and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard.” The event was set to unveil new
